Launch
Server
Server can be launched with 1 or 2 input parameters. The number of parameters determines what mode will be used - manual or automatic mode.
- specific number to identify communication processes of server
[config_file] - configuration file with exact name of variables
Manual mode
- server waits for input commands from client, sends them to laser sensor and returns results back to client
./server <port>
Automatic mode
- server loads variables from configuration file config.txt, starts measuring and sends results to client continuously.
./server <port> [config_file]
Client
Client has to be lauched with 2 input parameters.
- IP address of server the client tries to connect
- port number of server
./client <IP address> <port>
Demo
No input parameters.
Macros defines multiple variables used in demo program, which demonstrates connection to server in automatic mode and process of resulting data.
#define IP_ADDRESS "192.168.0.101" // IP address of server
#define PORT 32500 // server port number
#define MAX_VALUE 1265 // upper limit (depends on used units)
#define MIN_VALUE 1200 // lower limit (depends on used units)
